Re: How will you vote at next election?

Since there's clearly so many who feel unable to vote, as the current options offer no real choice, or through the party system, you like part of the manifesto, but hate other parts, we need something different. So a suggestion, albeit I'm not sure how practical it is.

Voters are presented with a range of policies for each issue, and options on those policies, at the ballot, the voter selects their preference for each option, do it, don't do it, spend more, spend less, etc. It's not a case of having one separate ballot for each different issue, like is proposed if we ever do go for ditching the pound. There would be one ballot dealing with lots of issues. Yes ballots might need to be held every year, instead of every 4-5 years, but effectively we do that for local councils.

As to how we then choose our MPs or whoever, it would probably be some sort of proportional representation, based on the supporters of the different policies.
